Tomato plants

Abstract

The present invention relates to a new and distinct inbred tomato lines and hybrids. This invention also relates to plants and seeds of such inbred tomato lines and hybrids, and to parts thereof. The invention also relates to methods for producing a tomato plant produced by crossing such inbred tomato lines and hybrids with themselves or other tomato plants.

1. Seed of tomato hybrid SX 387, representative seed of said tomato hybrid having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-10088. 
   
   
     2. A tomato plant, or a part thereof, produced by growing the seed of  claim 1 . 
   
   
     3. Pollen or an ovule of the plant of  claim 2 . 
   
   
     4. A fruit of the plant of  claim 2 . 
   
   
     5. A tissue culture of regenerable cells of a plant of tomato hybrid SX 387, wherein the tissue regenerates plants having all the morphological and physiological characteristics of a plant of tomato hybrid SX 387, representative seeds having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-10088. 
   
   
     6. The tissue culture of  claim 5 , selected from the group consisting of protoplast and calli, wherein the regenerable cells are produced from meristematic cells, leaves, pollen, embryo, root, root tips, stems, anther, flowers, seeds. 
   
   
     7. A tomato plant regenerated from the tissue culture of  claim 6 , wherein the regenerated plant has all the morphological and physiological characteristics of a plant of tomato hybrid SX 387, representative seeds having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-10088. 
   
   
     8. A method for producing a hybrid tomato seed comprising crossing a first parent tomato plant with a second parent tomato plant and harvesting the resultant hybrid tomato seed, wherein said first or second parent tomato plant is the tomato plant of  claim 2 . 
   
   
     9. A method of producing a tomato fruit comprising:
 a) growing the tomato plant of  claim 2  to produce a tomato fruit, and 
 b) harvesting said tomato fruit. 
 
   
   
     10. The method according to  claim 9 , further comprising packing said tomato fruit in a container. 
   
   
     11. A method of vegetatively propagating a tomato plant comprising:
 a) collecting part of the plant according to  claim 2 ; 
 b) obtaining a plantlet from said part. 
 
   
   
     12. The method according to  claim 11 , further comprising growing a plant from said plantlet. 
   
   
     13. The method according to  claim 12 , further comprising harvesting a fruit from said plant grown from said plantlet. 
   
   
     14. The method according to  claim 13 , further comprising packing said tomato fruit in a container. 
   
   
     15. A method of producing a tomato seed comprising:
 a) growing the tomato plant of  claim 2  to produce a tomato seed, and 
 b) harvesting said tomato seed.
